Bandol and other rosés with Munskänkarna (Brussels): Pale pink colour. In the nose wild strawberries, initially some stale smell and some mint. On the palate rather fruity, but somewhat non-descriptive, some tannin, slightly clumsy impression. Improved in the glass, became more expressive and developed a herbal character as the staleness faded. Finally rated 85-87 p.
This wine came with a recommendation that it should be served last, since it was so powerful. Sure, it had some power, but not obviously more than two of the three preceding wines.

Did not smelled a lot - had some hints of grapefruit. Light mineral taste - some berries. Crosstasted with the 04, which tasted very similar but was a lot fuller, heavier, riper and had a way longer finish.

Nice salmon pink color with strawberries and a hint of tropical notes on the nose. Dry with good minerality on the palate and finishes neat and clean. Chill it down and enjoy it on a summer afternoon.

(Domaine du Gros’Noré Bandol Rosé) Pale copper-pink and moderately viscous. The nose features notes of straw, rosewater, strawberry, and peach. The palate is bone dry and Alpine fresh, with brisk, lemony acidity; a vein of chalky minerality; and a long lemon-berry-rose finish. Provence: Heaven for the Senses

Winebow Trade Tasting (Palomar Hotel): Wild strawberry and bright acidity. Rather simplistic, but nonetheless enjoyable.

Delicious. Pale pink/apricot colour. Fresh soft red fruits. Bone dry, flinty. Really good.
